Among many populations of blood cells, high dimensional analysis using mass cytometry reveals classical monocyte frequency as strong predictors of response to PD-1 blockade therapy of melanoma.
A luteinizing hormone–releasing hormone antagonist, used clinically for sex-steroid inhibition, promotes quiescence of hematopoietic stem cells and thereby promotes hematopoietic recovery and survival of lethally irradiated mice.
Pier Paolo Pandolfi and colleagues report that the genetic background of tumors in mice recruits specific immune-cell subsets, suggesting that precision medicine should account for both the tumor drivers and the distinct immune-cell microenvironments that they elicit.
In a recent study of hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury (IRI), Zhang et al. use tandem 'omics' approaches in mice, pigs, and nonhuman primates to identify lipid metabolic reprogramming as a key determinant of IRI, thus providing novel mechanistic and therapeutic insights.
Mental illnesses impose a grave disease burden worldwide, yet progress in managing and treating them has largely stalled. Harnessing the power of big data may break the current impasse and open new avenues for better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these devastating illnesses.
A Children's Oncology Group study of nearly 1,000 pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases reveals marked differences between the genomic landscapes of pediatric and adult AML and offers directions for future work.
A recurrent ECSIT mutation in individuals with extranodal natural killer/T cell lymphoma induces NFκB in cancer cells, leading to macrophage activation, and associates with progression to fatal hemophagocytic syndrome. NFκB-targeting therapy produced stable remission in two patients.
One strategy to counter the rise of antimicrobial resistance is the development of vaccines against resistant pathogens, preventing further infection and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
